T-Stat 2.0
When you need to be sure
T-Stat is built on the most advanced optical technologies in tissue oximetry.
T-Stat
T-Stat is the first device to be labeled as “sensitive to Ischemia” and has been proven in multiple trials as an easy-to-use and reliable tool for assessing the adequacy of oxygen delivery to tissue.
The T-Stat VLS Tissue Oximeter provides a continuous, non-invasive and localized measurement, sensitive to regional and global ischemia. T-Stat reports a capillary-weighted oxygen saturation which is closely related to a local venous saturation measure.
The T-Stat Monitoring System
The complete monitoring system consists of the T-Stat VLS Tissue Oximeter and a sensor that is specifically designed for three unique applications. Each sensor contains a white LED light to illuminate the tissue in the capillary bed. The signal is then returned through a fiberoptic bundle for real-time spectrographic analysis.
Large Surface Sensor, 2.5cm
The surface sensor is used most commonly to monitor free tissue flaps. It is easy to place and quick to monitor the surface of tissue. Using VLS the T-Stat sensors measure in the capillary bed for a near absolute Sto2%.
Small Surface Sensor, 1cm
The 1cm surface sensor is for a similar surface application and is ideal when a smaller skin paddle is available. The 1cm sensor size is also a good option when used during more complex head and neck flaps.
Endoscopic Sensor, 1.5mm
The endoscopic sensor (1.5mm, 2M in length) is designed to be used in the channel of an endoscope for assessing local perfusion. With the additional information provided by T-Stat during endoscopy, real-time treatments and therapies may be incorporated at a time when access is limited.
Oral Sensor
The oral sensor is designed to fit in the mouth of adults to neonates to monitor the saturation of the buccal mucosa, as a surrogate for GI perfusion. This information prevents excessive blood draws and provides valuable information to manage cardiac output and the arteriovenous oxygen difference.
“When adding T-Stat to your patient care plan, the added value of knowing what T-Stat is providing, gives you peace of mind.”
See how T-Stat is used in the following clinical applications:
Reconstructive Microsurgery
T-Stat is used to monitor tissue perfusion in reconstructive microsurgery cases. The system is non-invasive, causes no harm to the tissue or anastomosis and is easy to place. The sensor is placed on the surface of the tissue, shines light into the flap and returns a signal that reflects the real-time oxygen delivery to the tissue. T-Stat’s success is a result of accuracy and reproducibility.
Endoscopy
The endoscopic sensor is used to measure tissue saturation during endoscopic procedures. The small diameter and length of the sensor make integrating T-Stat into your cases easy.
The endoscopic sensor is placed through the channel of the endoscope. Within seconds, T-Stat provides localized and continuous Sto2% allowing you to treat in real-time.
Critical Care
(NICU/PICU/ICU/CICU)
T-Stat is a great addition to any critical care environment, for adults and children alike, providing valuable information to better manage AV differences via oxygen delivery, while preventing over delivery, and avoiding excessive blood draws. T-Stat has been shown to correlate closely to Swan-Ganz (PAC) Svo2. T-Stat sensors are FDA approved for up to 30 days.
“When using T-Stat as an adjunct monitor, the addition of real-time Sto2% helps you to treat your patients better. The benefits are not only better patient outcomes, but also a more confident and informed care-team.”
